22:11 - Hex_Omegaflight, change your title from 'Stamp Tramp' to 'Master Of The Lists'. 15 lists in 4 months, lol

22:02 - mzyeah Neachy. I've been so out of the metal globe for 2.5 months and have checked only 4 albums: Eerie( 2014), that black metal album with red cover form Iceland, desolate shrine and Abyssal Gods. All of them are very good :D

In anticipation of their upcoming album Shadows Of The Dying Sun, Insomnium have premiered the music video for an unheard track titled "While We Sleep" off the same album - the song can be streamed below. The album is due to be released on April 28th in Europe and April 29th in North America this year via Century Media Records. Don't waste time, listen to a new Insomnium song now!

The song "Revelations", also from the new album, is still available for streaming over here.

Got mixed feelings after one listen. Some of it reminded me little of Above The Weeping World, which is a good thing! Then there's some newer elements I'm not sure of.. Oh well, gonna buy the album anyways!

Same here, not sure if I like it or I'm bored by it.. These two new songs definitely are reminiscent of their earlier works, which is awesome but at the same time they still can't quite shake off the blandness Insomnium has become.

So far, at least I'm liking these new tracks more than everything off Sorrow, though that's not saying much.

It's alright. I think I'm officially starting to dislike all forms of melodeath, even from some formerly favorite bands. I've heard this song 100 times already before, it's nothing new.

I kinda agree with you here. Melodic death metal was the first extreme genre I got in to, and now I'm just sick and tired of the genre. Even Seventh Swamphony by Kalmah didn't do it for me. But oh well, still hoping there's something with this album, as much as I still love the older Insomnium albums like Since The Day It All Came Down and Above The Weeping World

He said that is sounds similar, not the same. As soon as the song started I knew that I'd heard something like it before. It's clear that they're running out of ideas.

Like I said, not even close. As for running out of ideas, to me they sound more inspired than on the previous record. Sure, some things are being recycled (deliberately or not), but that doesn't mean the well has run dry.

Just love it. Maybe some of you say Insomnium are always doing the same things but at least they do them a very nice way. All their songs are very enjoyable if not memorable. Besides, I wouldn't call them melodeath I will buy this album, undoubtedly !

If all else fails, can't they get someone who doesn't sound so... whiny.

Integral in the sense that it's what Insomnium does now to "separate themselves" from the horde of melodic "death" metal bands. There was a bit of veiled sarcasm in that comment but sometimes it doesn't translate well in text.
